What do you get when you put together knowledge and passion for fitness? Sohil Farahmand - Sohil is not only a good trainer, he is professional, organized and really cares about making a difference. Sohil warm and understanding nature helped me navigate the way to better and healthier habits. I feel lucky to have found him.

From a personal experience I would recommend Sohil as a personal trainer. I was very hesitant getting a personal trainer as it can feel a bit uncomfortable at times. I can say it's been 2 months working with Sohil and I have no regrets. He is very proffessional and i will say he will give you challenges that are necessary to achieve your goals, and one might say I can't do this. Sohil knows how to motivate people and one of his favourite saying is (I know you can do this). It is a pleasure working out with Sohil because i have lost weight without starving myself, the healthy way. He is very knowledgeable about what he does. I wouldn't have choosen any other trainer.

Sohil is one of the best trainer we have came across and really feel fortunate to have him. He is very knowledgeable, honest and determined. Why Sohil is different from other trainers, He explains the benefit of each exercise during your training, customize nutrition program for you and make you accountable to follow the program. That not just help you to achieve your goals but sustain in a long term.
I lost more than 15 pounds in just 6 weeks and changed my lifestyle, feel more energetic and healthy. Me and my wife are on his program from last more than 6 months and people have noticed healthy change in ours as getting positive feedbacks 😊
I highly recommend Sohil if you are not just looking for weight loss but would like to change to a healthy lifestyle.

Sohil is just an amazing guy. I've never seen a trainer become so involved with your life outside the gym to make sure that you succeed. The training sessions are through the roof phenomenal. His knowledge of the body science is amazing. He will take a very a deep personal interest in making sure that you succeed. if that means following up with you later in the day to make sure you are sticking to the plan or sitting down with you and discussing overall challenges you are facing in achieving your goals. Very highly recommend him to everyone.

What I like about Sohil is that he knows how to motivate me, he makes each of my training sessions challenging but rewarding. I would have no hesitation in recommending him as your personal trainer if you want to achieve your fitness and health goals.
importantly:
– He ensures that my technique is always correct to avoid any injuries.
– He is extremely reliable & punctual – always set up & ready to start training ahead of time, with an exercise routine planned.

Looking for shortcuts ? There's none , but a Pro still can save you time, to achieve your goals and protect you from injuries, clean up your so thought healthy eating habits, creating a healthier body and lifestyle for your enjoyment.
Losing weight for me in the end became very hard, the final touch is the hardest, I got stuck, counting calories, running,etc. wasn't enough anymore. The amount of information available on the net is overwhelming, but now days nobody can afford downtime because of unnecessary injuries.
So I needed a Pro to keep me going. I've seen him in the gym , occasionally talked to him, gave me advises that helped me a lot so it was no brainer that we started training together.
We changed my meal plan and my training based on my goals and under his supervision the results started to show, I've lost some more weight ( 12 pounds in 4 weeks - before that I already shed off 40 ), I feel better over all, I love what I eat, no more major hunger issues, more energy, slowly but surely getting stronger, better toned. The best part is that others are telling me these, so the results are already obvious.
I'm glad I decided to work with him, I'm sure that anybody who brings to the table some self discipline, with his knowledge, patience and dedication will have some pleasantly surprising results!

If I could give 10 stars I would. Sohil is an absolutely incredible trainer, this is clearly his passion and he is very knowledgable not only at training but about nutrition as well. I chose to take the exit just under a month ago and Sohil provided me with a personal nutrition plan that fit my needs, and a personal training plan that fit my goals of increasing my VO2 max and cardio as a whole. In 3 weeks I improved my VO2 max from 34.5 to 42.5! and dropped 20 pounds! One thing about Sohil and his program is that everything is designed specific to you and your goals, there are no cookie cutter plans here. What makes the difference is his personal approach and his passion to help you achieve your goals with his knowledge and determination. If you are interested in personal training and a nutrition plan to help achieve your goals, then I suggest you take the exit today!

I would say I am about two months into Sohails training. I can honestly say I am happy with the decision I made. I feel more confident and stronger than before. Its not only the exercises its also the nutrition and educational facts Sohail provides. Your not in this by yourself, you work as a team. For anyone who has goals or wants to live a more healthier life style I would highly recommend at least sitting down for a consultation.

I've been working with Sohil since 2016. I enjoyed every workout with him. My workout are challenging and full of variety. Personal training with Sohil is one of the best investments I have ever made because it never stops producing results!

Training with Sohil has been an incredible experience! He truly listens and understands what I need to change my bad habits and reach my potential.
From day one, he has provided me with comprehensive nutrition coaching and is so invested that he takes the time to look at my food pictures and read my daily food logs. In addition, he has provided me with a cardio intensive training program that is dynamic and ever changing which has challenged me every day!
I worked out with a trainer for a about a year before I met Sohil and while I gained strength I did not see the body changes I was looking for. Starting with The Exit has been life changing and I'm so grateful for this wonderful training experience.
Finally, seeing results and improvements every week makes me excited for the future. Working out with Sohil has helped me to transition from being hopeful about my goals to being confident that I will reach them .

Sohil has been my personal trainer for a year. He makes each my training session challenging but rewarding. Sohil is excellent at proving a full body workout , and at explaining the benefits of each exercise.The results I have achieved to date are largely due to Sohil's perfect combination of diverse training methods and individualized exercise programs. His professionalism, extensive knowledge and enthusiastic commitment to his work, provides the perfect scenario for success and sets foundation for a new healthier lifestyle
